This is by no means a full list of links related to our work and efforts that is on the web. But this should give you an idea about what we are into. We are very active in our community, and are speaking out for positive changes. There should be more of that in our society.

I heard a northern parula yesterday. This was the first neotropical migrant bird that I heard this season. Almost always it is between the blue-gray gnatcatchers and the parulas as to which shows up first. And, interestingly enough, my friend Tom, who lives about a half hour drive to the northwest, saw a blue-gray gnatcatcher yesterday. With the whiporwill siting the other day, and these occurences, it is clear that the migration has begun.

And then today, when I was driving up to Tom's place for band practice at about noon, I saw a large flock of white pelicans at Bay Creek where the blacktop crosses and goes by it. I had never seen white pelicans there before, and there had to be a hundred or more. There were a number of commorants with them. And interestingly enough, they were gone when I came back by about 4:30.

There also is a noticeable higher abundance of common egrets, or the white egret, around here. I'll do my best to make sure and write down as I see and hear our friends arrive.
